As a Principal UX Engineer at CarGurus, I applied my broad-based background in technology and fine arts to elevate the user experience and search engine optimization of the leading online platform for car shopping. With over 10 years of experience in UX engineering, I have a passion for building accessible, performant, and engaging web solutions that drive organic traffic growth and customer retention.In my most recent role, I collaborated across engineering teams to boost CarGuru’s search page ranking and core web vitals through SEO solutions and features. I also provided domain expertise and implementation support for legacy site UX components and code. Previously, I enhanced the core listings product UX for higher conversion and participated in cross-functional efforts for rebranding, IPO governance changes, and relaunching the modern front-end search app. I pride myself on being able to creatively solve problems, regardless of the limitations, and deliver high-quality code that follows UX best practices and accessibility standards.
